Infused Water

Ingredients:

• Fruit: strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, pineapple, mango, lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pear, apple, grapes, plum, peach
• Vegetables: cucumber, carrot, celery
• Herbs and spices: ginger, cinnamon, sage, rosemary, basil, cilantro

Directions:

1. Select your container. You can use any glass or BPA-free plastic container you like. Choose mason jars, pitchers or water bottles depending on how/where you want to drink your water. Doing everything in a water bottle can be great on the go, or you can make a whole pitcher of infused water that you store in your fridge to sip from throughout the day.
2. Pick your produce. Choose any flavor combination that you think sounds good and add it to your container.
3. Muddle your selected ingredients. Once you’ve placed everything in your container smash it a little bit with a wooden spoon or muddler. This helps to release some of the flavors and essential oils from your produce, which will add more flavor to your water.
4. Add water. You can use either regular tap or filtered water or try plain sparkling water.
